The Girl Next Door

Final Chapter - Commitments.

"I saw you and Brennan holding hands" I texted back.

"Why are you doing this to me Annie? After all we've been through and you still have feelings for Brennan" I added.

"Wait Cal. Its not what it looks like" Annie texted. "I don't have feelings for Brennan anymore. You know that" she added.

"It's not what it looks like? How is it not what it looks like?" I asked. "I was about to fall and he held me back" she replied. "If it weren't for him, I would've badly sprained my ankle" she added.

"And you expect me to believe that?" I texted. "You looked way too happy for 'about to sprain your ankle'" I added.

"Calum. Its the truth. And if you don't believe me then, I guess, I can't do anything to convince you" she texted. "If you don't trust me, your girlfriend, then I guess we shouldn't even be together" she added.

Great, now she's mad at me, I thought to myself. I'm not even the person who started all this. How is it my fault?

"Look Annie, I love you. It's not that I don't believe you. Its just, knowing that you still have a tiny bit of feelings for Brennan, just.. kills me" I texted.

"I don't Calum. You know what. I'm not in the mood for this"she replied. "Wait I'm sorry Ann" I texted back immediately. "Just forget it. Look I have to go" she texted.

"Go?" I asked. "Yes, I have to go" she replied. I tried to apologize and all that but she didn't replied back. She just ignored me. She gave me the silent treatment.

What have I done, I thought to myself. I just took the most precious girl in the universe and broke her heart. Why am I so in denial? If she says that nothing happened, then I have to trust her. She is my girlfriend after all.

I'm gonna win her back. Mark my words. I'm gonna make her feel like she's the only girl in the world. She deserves it.

So this is what I'm gonna do, I whispered to myself. I'm gonna sneak out tonight, to her balcony and sing the song I've written for her. Its gonna blow her mind. She'll definitely forgive me, right? I hope so.

I looked for my acoustic guitar all over the room. And then I finally found it, it was at the balcony. Just hanging there. I took it inside and started playing it.

"Oh there she goes again, every morning it's the same. You walk on by my house. I wanna call out your name" I sung. "Cant wait anymore, I won't wait, I need to tell you how I feel, when I see us together forever"

A few hours has gone by and I finally finished the song. It was perfect. Now for the hard part, singing it to her.

I went back to the drawing board and rethinked the plan. How am I really gonna do this? I thought to myself.

Okay so first, I have to sneak out of here at night. And then sneak to Annie's house, make sure no one sees me. Then, I stand outside of her room and just start playing? I don't know. It sounds like its gonna fail. What if someone hears it? Ill be dead.

I need to climb up and stand on her balcony. Its way less riskier like that. No ones gonna hear me besides her. She's gonna be so surprised, in a good way of course. Well at least, that's what I hope.

Tick tok, tick tok.. I hear the clock winds down at every glance. Its getting closer and closer to the moment. I took a deep breath and let it out as I rethink the plan in my head. Its gonna be so perfect.

9:00 pm
The time has finally arrived. For me to execute the plan. Every moment of me and her came to mind. Its been a hard and long road leading up to this. If this doesn't work, then I guess we are just not meant to be together.
